PaladinSolo Posted Wednesday at 04:22 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:22 PM Republicans’ Electoral College Edge, Once Seen as Ironclad, Looks to Be Fading - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM A review of the evidence that Donald Trump’s advantage relative to the national popular vote has declined significantly. TLDR NYTs polling shows only a .7% difference in the EC and Popular vote, in the GOP's favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM FWIW, I live in the Las Vegas area, and I only ever hear Harris (or pro-Harris) ads on the radio we have at work. Local TV ads seem to be more evenly split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finaljedi Posted Wednesday at 08:20 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:20 PM The cost of living in the blue states is pretty jacked and the migration is turning everything else into endless suburban sprawl. The Democrats might also have real trouble if the republicans can stop being embarrassing for moderates to associate with again. When Trump drops dead and they dial back the culture war and dog eating shit then that along with population shifts may make it hard for the Dems.

Democrats will need the blue wall and the western sun states and NC or GA just to make it to 270. Or Texas. I remember reading what Riley shared weeks/months ago and I just read this and I feel this makes a LOT of assumptions. How do they know who's moving? We've gotten many midwestern Republicans moving down to Florida, which is a big reason why it's been harder for Democrats to win here. By the logic of folks like the author here, that would make the upper midwest more winnable for Democrats. But this seems to be assuming that those people moving are liberals due to income. And I mean, there's something to people more disadvantaged being Democrats, but many low income people are also Republican and somehow think Trump is their champion for reasons that still make no sense. Many who are moving to Florida are NOT liberals. I wish they were, to be honest. This was said in 2004 after Kerry won New Hampshire and flipped the state from Republican to Democratic but before he ended up losing Iowa/New Mexico. He was still at an electoral disadvantage. I specifically remember Larry King asking about it and being told by their analyst at the time that the south was gaining strength electorally and so it would be harder for Democrats to win with just their electoral bastions in New York, California, and Illinois. What happened? Obama easily won in 2008 by expanding the electoral map. Virginia became a purple state to a blue-leaning purple state. North Carolina voted Democratic. Indiana voted Democratic. Nebraska's 2nd voted for Obama. Colorado voted for Obama and is a reliably blue state after being a mostly Republican one. New Mexico and Iowa returned to Democrats. Montana was within 3 points. Some of those states reverted, but you also had states such as Georgia and Arizona which finally flipped to Democrats in 2020 (and hopefully will again). The map could look much different in terms of competitiveness in 2032. California used to be a solidly Republican state with a ton of electoral votes. It was in many ways what Texas is to Republicans now, while Texas was more Democratic in the 60s and 70s. And Texas passing California in 20 years won't matter if Texas votes like California in 20 years. There's a lot of unproven assumptions, and I don't know where the information is coming from as to why people are leaving, who's leaving, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
